Tailoring an information skills programme for Trainee Nursing Associates

This feature describes the tailored information skills programme which was delivered for the second cohort of Trainee Nursing Associates (TNAs) at Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and presents the results of the evaluation which was undertaken. Literature searching and critical appraisal were offered to the first cohort. Feedback was collated, and sessions were refined and tailored to better meet the information needs of the second cohort of TNAs. A comparison of confidence ratings before and after the programme ascertained whether the information skills programme had a positive benefit in confidence levels of attendees. D.I.

哲学批判概念阐释

从批判的前提,批判的依据或尺度,批判的实质内容,批判的目的,批判的基本特性等层面,对批判概念作了初步的阐释。在此基础上,讨论了批判和哲学的关系,认为,批判是哲学的本性,批判精神是哲学的本真精神;马克思主义哲学无疑是当代最具深度的批判性哲学。在今天,阐扬哲学主要是马克思主义哲学的批判性和批判精神,具有特别重要的现实意义。     

批评话语分析中的隐喻现象研究——以腾讯QQ致用户信为例

批评话语分析（critical discourse analysis）作为语言学中新兴发展的学派,其主要目的是通过分析人们设计的符号来揭示语篇中含而不露的意识形态。隐喻（metaphor）作为认知语言学中的一个重要理论,近年来受到国内外学者的广泛关注。隐喻与社会性之间的关系在某种程度上把认知理论与批评话语分析结合起来,使构建认知批评话语分析框架成为可能。本文以分析CDA中的隐喻现象为基点,旨在探讨构建认知批评话语分析框架的可行性与优势;发掘大众语篇背后隐藏的意识形态并呼吁读者以批评的眼光阅读此类语篇。     

教学临界阈研究的问题与思路

教学临界阈研究是探究和揭示教学有效性内在本质及其规律的关键,是我们对有效教学问题从外条件研究到内问题探讨的转折点。这些内问题的探讨主要包括学习者的有效学习量究竟是多少才能引起学习临界点的出现,影响教学从量变到质变的关键因素是什么,教学临界阈的产生能否促使学习者知而达智、行而致能。超额学习、掌握学习、语言输入理论、结构方程模式等成果为教学临界阈的研究奠定了基础,人类工效学、知识生态学和博弈论更是为教学临界阈研究提供了多元视角。时间、空间、群体和影响程度等质变临界阈的存在意味着教学临界阈研究有着不同的研究思路,而具体内容学习变化的曲线则是判断教学临界阈的基本依据。通过变量干预而改变教学临界状态是研究有效教学的一个新的切入点。

The Art of Straying: Benjamin on Distraction and the Informal Education of the City

In this article, Tyson E. Lewis argues for an alternative form of educational attunement beyond attentiveness. Discourses and practices of schooling emphasize being attentive as a primary educational virtue. This emphasis casts distraction as either the negation of attention or its deterioration. In either case, distraction lacks educational use and, as such, must be overcome through the cultivation of attention. Yet this approach to the question of attention versus distraction misses how distraction contains within itself a different kind of educational potentiality, a different kind of educational attunement. In an attempt to carve out space and time for distraction, Lewis turns to the writings of Walter Benjamin who offers up a more complex view of distraction than is presently found in educational philosophy. In particular, Benjamin argues that cities are not only places of negative forms of distraction (as mere diversions), but also places for cultivating productive distraction in the form of an open and alert attunement to new ways of experiencing and perceiving the relationship between world and self. Cities, for Benjamin, become educational spaces that teach lessons in a distracted form of life, the culmination of which is the creativity expressed in what he refers to as “the art of straying.”     

Calculated democracy—Explorations in gerrymandering

This paper describes a lesson centered around a metric for measuring partisan gerrymandering: the efficiency gap. We situate the efficiency gap in the current US political climate, describe the activity itself, and then provide recommendations for readers interested in adapting the lesson for their own classrooms.     

Critical Thinking and Community Engagement through Artistic Actions

In a society that strives for sustainability it is important to observe and value different forms of knowledge. Creating art is not a meaningless exercise. Instead, one might say that works of art serve as a window that interprets the world. In the article it is argued that artistic actions can offer a combination of critical and creative thinking reflecting on the types of knowledge and experience that count as valuable for sustainable communities. The article reflects on the participatory installation Colours of Rovaniemi and how ABER was used in the creation process. The methodology focused on the transformative power of community engagement when creating artistic actions that engage with sustainability. The installation provoked critical thinking and encouraged the participants to take a stand on the issues discussed. Artworks of this kind are well suited to help us understand the issues we face regarding sustainability. The work raised questions of who we are, what we prioritise in our lives. It initiated discussion of the connection between man and nature, attitudes, values and national self‐identity, challenging the participants’ perspectives.
